Mid 30's Ford rumble seat convertible.....would have made a fantastic steel body hotrod, but he insisted on resto.....sold for maybe 2k more than he PAID for the car, so his parts/time/effort went to nil.....the market shifted on him, making it worth FAR more at a hotrod.....same thing will happen to our Corvettes, and IF battery tech allows with improvements, don't be too surprised if battery conversions are popular as hell in a few years.....
